Islam Islam Islam, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Answer!?

As far as I know...

any sin you commit before you convert is forgiven so there is no trouble...

you can ask Islamic scholars with this website... www.questionsonislam.com

First with the adoption of a child if the child becomes homeless from death then there is the process but usually the child is taken in by relatives.

The girl would have committed a Sin anyway so she would be in trouble that is for sure. Girls are to be virgins until marriage.

I think if the child is born out of wedlock or conceived before marriage it might even be killed at least the girl would be for breaking Islamic values. It is hard to say but if the family can find some desperate old man to take her off their hands and save embarrassment or losing faith among their tribal cousins then it would be done. But more than likely the girl would be placed in jail for committing an offence against Islamic Laws. The male would most likely get off scott free as usual.

Well that is my understanding of what really goes on in some of those Islamic countries ruled by religion.

As salaamu alaykum,

You are not held accountable for what you did prior to your becoming Muslim. Now you must complete the term of your pregnancy as normal and continue to learn the Religion of Al Islam.

While you are pregnant thru a relationship that is considered fornication the child has no rights over his/her father because of the conception. If he would like to be part of the childs life this is fine but actually he doesn't have to.

While you are pregnant you are not allowed to get married you must wait until you have the baby and complete the natural process of menses that your body goes through after giving birth.

You will not be looked at in a strange manner in the Masjid because the people know that you are a new Muslim and this situation arose before your conversion and I'm sure many of the Sisters will even try to help you along the way.

As far as the adoption goes I'm not sure about that and part of the Religion of Al Islam is to say "you don't know when you don't know"

Don't worry yourself too much about the leaders of the masjid. Your main obligation is to Allah and pleasing Him. If you would like, you are free to call the Masjid that you attend and set up a meeting with the Imam and discuss your circumstances with him or you don't have to that choice is yours.

You can mail me personally and I will try to get some authentic information on adoption in Islam.

Insha Allah this will be of some help to you.

If some people(atleast 4 people in my knowledge) know that you used to be Christian and now you're Muslim then there is no problem. For they shall stand witness for you if anyone falsely accuses you. However, if you think that the situation might become tense then you may give your child for adoption(to an Islamic organization or an orphanage). The Quran only says that you must not kill your children and that they have rights over you, however it doesn't say anywhere(in my knowledge) that you can't give your child for adoption. Btw, the sin of fornication has been forgiven, for you have embraced Islam.

May God Almighty help you in this situation and erase any problems you have. Ameen.

Hi

I think your question would be better answered in the Ramadan section under holidays in society and culture.

I have starred your question and hopefully you will get some decent answers.

I am a muslim revert, but i don't think i would be the best person to answer your question as i am still just learning myself. However i most definitely do not think that this new muslimah, would be looked down upon for being pregnant when she did not know----Allah has many plans and tests for us----this may be this ladies tough test in life-----why would she want to adopt the baby?----can she not keep her baby?-----Allah is most forgiving, and any sins this lady had or committed before she reverted are now forgiven-------

Please post this in ramadan so you can get better answers, inshallah!

Take care

Salaamulaykum

Edit

@asker---there are some nice answers above me ----too----i would still post in ramadan to find out some information you need!----and better still ask at your local mosque

best wishes----

No, of course not. When she did it, she's not muslim yet. That's why she could not punished by Islam rule, unless she lived in the Islamic country.

It's based on this verse.

Ya ayyuha alnnabiyyu itha jaaka almuminatu yubayiAAnaka AAala an la yushrikna biAllahi shayan wala yasriqna wala yazneena wala yaqtulna awladahunna wala yateena bibuhtanin yaftareenahu bayna aydeehinna waarjulihinna wala yaAAseenaka fee maAAroofin fabayiAAhunna waistaghfir lahunna Allaha inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun

60:12 O Prophet! When believing women come to thee to take the oath of fealty to thee, that they will not associate in worship any other thing whatever with Allah, that they will not steal, that they will not commit adultery (or fornication), that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood, and that they will not disobey thee in any just matter,- then do thou receive their fealty, and pray to Allah for the forgiveness (of their sins): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

About the baby, his own mother has to take care of it. Raise him, just like other babies. Don't give the baby up for adoption. The baby is innocent. Blame the persons who did such a shameless thing. Muslim woman must love baby so much. But if she insisted to, the parents who took the baby must understand that :

1. When he/she reach 17 years old, tell who the real mother

2. Give him/her a choice, who will he/she follow? His adopting parents or his real mother?

How about his own father? Tell him, too. But for your information, having baby without marriage make his own father didn't have any rights of this baby. He didn't have a right whenever his baby have birthday, marriage, etc. As a matter of fact, he didn't have a right to be called as 'father'.

singles arent punished with death penalty .first i thougt she should be punished but then i thought that the punishment has a purpose(to prevent the sin)the application of this punisment will have no effect on muslims because they are still the part of the law and they cant think that the same thing will be to them and they will be forgiven too and if we think she converted to islam and asked for forgiveness i wouldnt punish her.giving a baby for adoption : i didnt like this idea.we should help the family if they couldnt look after him.because the child belongs to the biological family according to Quran

Assalamualaikum sister

Islam teaches us that any sin done before reverting to Islam is forgiven.

so if this fornication took place before reverting , then the lady is forgiven And should complete her pregnancy and deliver the child.

However , as a mother it is not best to give up her child for adoption. A child is dependent on his/her parents for proper guidance and love which he/she rightly deserves. So giving up the child for adoption would not be just towards the child.

As a mother , she should fullfil her duty .

If needed she could take help from her sisters in Islam.

Im sure they would be open minded and Kind hearted enough to help.

In short.....In Islam , we consider Allah to love us more , much more than our own mother can ever love us.

So how can the reverted lady abandon her own child when Allah has guided her from darkness to Light??!

She should instead guide her child towards Islam and love her child , just like how her Allah guided her , and loved her.

It's not the "leaders at the Mosque" job to deciede weather or not she is forgivin. That is God's job. Islam says though that when you convert all your past sins are forgivin. Having a baby isn't a sin. Premarital sex is though. But if she did it before she converted she's proably forgivin.

*Please don't listen to all these false answers from non-muslims. Also if you would like more opinions from other muslims I would post this in the Ramadan section (under holidays) *

any thing you have done before you became Muslim is forgiven you basically get all your sins erased and about setting you baby up for adoption i guess you can as long as you are 100% sure you u cannot take care of that baby you cant give up that baby because you decided u don't want to. but abortions are Haram

She is to raise the child as a muslim even if she is not.

The father and mother will both be questioned.

Only time she gives it up is if its health hazzard for her or the baby.

Its a sad sick case.

Those who are guided remain in the guidance.

From orphans come greatness so inshAllah be khair to the child amin.

Very sad indeed
